Health and Safety Information 127Additional information on the safety of RF exposures from varioussources can be obtained from the following organizations(updated 1/1/2010):• FCC RF Safety Program: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): http://www.epa.gov/radiation/• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA):http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH):http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/• World Health Organization (WHO): http://www.who.int/peh-emf/• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection:http://www.icnirp.de• Health Protection Agency:http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation• US Food and Drug Administration: http://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/HomeBusinessandEntertainment/CellPhones/default.htmSpecific Absorption Rate (SAR) CertificationInformationYour mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It isdesigned and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits forradio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.These FCC exposure limits are derived from therecommendations of two expert organizations: the NationalCouncil on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) andthe Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientificand engineering experts drawn from industry, government, andacademia after extensive reviews of the scientific literaturerelated to the biological effects of RF energy.The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile devicesemploys a unit of measurement known as the SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate ofabsorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units ofwatts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless devices tocomply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin ofsafety to give additional protection to the public and to accountfor any variations in measurements.SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positionsaccepted by the FCC with the mobile device transmitting at itshighest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified powerlevel, the actual SAR level of the mobile device while operatingcan be well below the maximum value. This is because themobile device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so
